Does not meet WP:NASTRO and therefore not WP:GNG; hardly any coverage in reliable sources. Article likely only exists on the basis of it being a very large star. SpaceImplorerExplorerImplorer 09:33, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
- CU Note: The main author was a sock - it would have been a candidate for G5 deletion had Ozzie10aaaa not done a fair bit of tidying up on the article - their thoughts on its retention or otherwise would probably be relevant. Girth Summit (blether) 09:57, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

- Comment: I did find a couple for studies that make mention of "UW Aql", but no more than a few sentences. I'm on the fence about this one. Praemonitus (talk) 19:37, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect to List of largest known stars, where it is mentioned. This is fairly an obscure star, it doesn't has even a Henry Draper or HIP designation despite its modest brightness of 8.8. I was planning to redirect it to List of stars in Aquila, but it fails the criteria of inclusion for these lists.

Relisting comment: Can't redirect to List of largest known stars as that page is a redirect. At least when I edit Wikipedia, redirects show up as a different color font (green links) rather than articles (blue links).
